With the kids home for Spring Break this is a great time to practice making Pretzel Bunnies for next month! These are really fun to make and they even taste good.
You will need pink Starburst for the ears. This is a cute one to save for Easter!
I find the Wilton items in my Walmart or my Hobby Lobby store. If you need to order them online you can get them HERE and HERE.
